The Cougars looked nothing like a top-seeded team in surviving Northern Kentucky, and...
UH coach Kelvin Sampson found it hard to keep his seat as his top-seeded team struggled to separate itself from Northern Kentucky on Thursday night.BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Month after month, the hopeful and promising words were repeated: The road to the Final Four goes back to Houston.After the first half, the factual line was forgotten.
Survive and advance, literally, on Thursday night inside Legacy Arena to live for another day in 2023. With Sampson trying over and over to wake up his stumbling squad, UH barely survived on a day when No. 15 Princeton and No. 13 Furman ignited the latest dance with instant madness.Even when UH created a 53-43 advantage, Northern Kentucky fired back and cut it to 53-48 with 4:23 to go.
Then there's this: Bruce Pearl's Tigers will basically be playing a super-noisy home game against UH.We can spend the next 24 hours — and potentially the years that follow — debating that iffy decision.Sampson relied on a player he’s coached for four years — who chose to return to UH instead of leaving for the NBA — and the team’s trainer, like normal."He tried,” said Sampson, describing the decision not to play Sasser in the second half of a tense game.
